UTAH VISIT- Returned Missionaries May/June 2013

While up in Utah for Braden's graduation, I got to see some of our great returned missionaries and friends!

Sunday night we got to see Brooke Zollinger and her friend, Michael Morton, Richard Mortensen with his fiance Emma, and Breanna Wells with her friend.
Nicole Okeson was also there with her boyfriend and Amber Harding was there as well, but we missed those 3 for this photo.

 They were all doing SO GOOD that it just warmed my heart to see them in person and how amazing these dear people are!


Saturday I had some hiking buddies join Braden and I for a hike along the Bonneville Shoreline trail...AZ has me hooked on  hiking every Saturday and I did not want to miss one Saturday of this tradition!

 Of course, it was a lot cooler so that was nice...and the wildflowers were really pretty!

Here we have the whole crew:  Jacob Baldree, Amber Harding, Me, Braden, Joseph Cotton, Mitch Peterson, Jason Brase, Jeff Griffin and Matt Hilton.
Three of this group had only been home a bit over a week!  Others have been home up to about 22 months.  They are all doing SO WELL!  All are doing great things in their lives and are so happy living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We LOVE our returned missionaries and are so proud of them for who they are and how they live the Gospel and support each other.  We are the family of God!
